Deshaun Watson Officially Ruled Out
3 years agoThe Houston Texans officially ruled quarterback Deshaun Watson out for the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson was listed on the injury report as "not injury related." The 25-year-old is likely to be a healthy scratch for the foreseeable future as the legal process plays out surrounding his 22 lawsuits for alleged sexual assault. On top of that, there's a good chance that the league will suspend Watson, which is why he went undrafted in most single-season fantasy leagues. Until further notice, veteran Tyrod Taylor will be the Texans starter under center. Taylor had some success in Buffalo's run-first offense back in 2015, but he's not a viable commodity in leagues that start only one QB.
